He told BANG Showbiz: "It was the worst scoring movie among test audiences in the history of Sony Pictures. People were walking out of the screening room.

"My brother Luke, who was also in it, went to another screening and he came home and said it went so badly that he was scared someone on the street might recognise him from the movie and want to beat him up."

He added: "But some people really like the movie and it did well with some critics, Martin Scorsese called it one of his favourite films of the 90s so I'm proud of the film."
